Singh’s role as the Head of SJVN’s Renewable Energy Implementing Agency (REIA) also contributed significantly to the awarding of 1.5 GW of solar projects in November 2023. Additional projects of 1.5 GW (Hybrid) and 1.5 GW (solar) are also on the verge of being awarded, further cementing his legacy in the renewable energy sector.
